"My name is Lei Heng! Our stationmaster Chen is not here. Currently, I have the highest position in the water station!"

Lei Heng walked up to Wang Zhong, stretched out his hand and said very politely.

"Wang Zhong! Villagers of Jintan Village!"

"I know you!" Lei Heng naturally knows Wang Zhong. In recent years, Wang Zhong's farm has been irrigated with water from Qingtongxia. In the first few years, Jintan Village was still under the control of Qingtongxia.

The money collected by their water station is not much, but since last year, Jintan Village has been separated from Qingtongxia and placed under the control of Yuquanying.

Wang Zhong contracted more than 500 acres of land. Last year, he paid an expensive water fee of 60,000 yuan for winter irrigation alone, which is equivalent to more than 100 yuan per acre. This is almost a sky-high price. There are 80 households in the village.

They also had five or six hundred acres of land, but they only paid 28,000. Wang Zhong's price was more than double that in the village.

During the winter irrigation last year, many people at the water station also thought that the price was too high. Wang Zhong would definitely not be willing to do it. Unexpectedly, Wang Zhong agreed immediately.

"You know, that will save you trouble!"

Wang Zhong's face showed a smile like the spring breeze blowing on his face: "You must have heard what I just said. I don't mean anything else, just two things."

"Two things?"

Lei Heng was confused and frightened. He was confused because of the two things Wang Zhong said. He was frightened because the man in front of him was only about thirty years old, but his reputation had already spread throughout the country.

Anyone who has interacted with people from Yuquanying knows that in the Gobi Desert at the foot of Helan Mountain, among the old mountain men who ran out of the mountain to Diaozhuang, there emerged a capable man named Wang Zhong, who was young.

, his ability is admirable, not only that, he is also eager for justice, helping those in need, which is simply the modern version of timely rain. He has gained such a great reputation, in this plain under the Helan Mountain, no one can give a thumbs up when mentioning Wang Zhong

.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After dealing with him, Lei Heng naturally knew who Wang Zhong was and knew his prestige among immigrants.

Moreover, it was clear that just before he came out, Wang Zhong was still saying words that sounded plain but full of threats, but now he could smile so calmly and calmly.

Just this ability to change his face made Lei Heng dare not look down upon him in the slightest.

"I'm just a small section chief. If it's within my scope of authority, I can promise you, but if it's beyond my scope of authority, there's nothing I can do!" Lei Heng spread his hands with a look of helplessness on his face.

The villagers surrounding him subconsciously wanted to surround him. Wang Zhong raised his hand slightly, and everyone's forward steps stopped in unison.

Seeing this scene, Lei Heng's penis couldn't help but shrink suddenly.

This is the reputation that Wang Zhong has accumulated among the villagers through his practical actions in the seven or eight years since the immigration was launched in 1991 until now.

"Chief Lei, you have a solution!"

Wang Zhong looked at Lei Heng with a smile and said: "The first condition is to open the gate and release the water immediately."

As soon as Wang Zhong finished speaking, Lei Heng immediately shook his head.

"Comrade Wang Zhong, don't embarrass us errands. Didn't your secretary already take people to the on-site meeting? When he gets news and orders, I will immediately open the floodgates and release the water without any further delay.

." Lei Heng said with a bit of pleading.

"You'll be fine if you don't drink water for a few days, but our wheat is precious. If we don't get enough water, we will all die!" Before Wang Zhong could speak, Yang San couldn't wait to shout loudly.

"If you release the water earlier, our wheat trees will be less likely to die!"

This statement immediately won the unanimous approval of the villagers: "That's right, a lot of wheat seedlings in the field have been killed. If the water is released a minute earlier, a few more wheat seedlings can be saved."

"Chief Lei! I'm very curious. Does this water station belong to his surname Chen, or does it belong to the country?"

Without thinking, Chief Lei blurted out: "Of course it belongs to the state. The water station was built with the state's money."

Wang Zhongdao: "The state has asked you to manage the water station so that you can help the villagers on both sides of the Yellow River divert water for irrigation. Although our Jintan Village is no longer under the jurisdiction of Qingtongxia, the third-level water pumping station on the Yuquanying side

It hasn't been completed yet. If we in Jintan Village want to water it, we can only water it from your side of Qingtong Gorge."

"The world is huge, and the common people have the most to eat. I believe Section Chief Lei will not fail to understand such a simple truth." Wang Zhong spoke softly, and he was completely different from before. The water station staff behind Lei Heng

They all looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief.

Lei Heng nodded: "That's the truth."

"Our village secretary has now gone to the on-site meeting, and your big leader from Qingtongxia is present at the on-site meeting. Do you think your leaders will tell you to open the gate and release the water after he leaves?"

Although Lei Heng didn't want to admit it, he still nodded.

"We paid the money, and you promised to release the water today, but the small amount of water released is not something that even the people in the lake can handle. You delayed the release of water, and countless wheat seedlings died in the field. Now this matter has caused trouble to your immediate superiors.

Come here, do you think these people at your water station have anything to do with it?"

"After the superiors investigate, do you think your stationmaster Chen will handle this matter by himself?"

Lei Heng's expression had changed and he frowned. Although Wang Zhong's words didn't sound good, they were true.

"Should we wait for the leaders above to take the blame and then take action to make amends? Or should we take the lead now and correct the mistakes we made, and tell the truth when the leaders come to hold us accountable."

"Section Chief Lei can't figure out the pros and cons, right?" Wang Zhong said with a smile on his face.

Lei Heng is also a section chief, so why can't he understand Wang Zhong's words?

"I believe Section Chief Lei must have heard what I said before. How to choose depends entirely on Section Chief Lei himself!"

"Although we abide by the law, we also know what it means to petition and what it means to pretend to be pitiful! When the time comes, our entire village will go to Qingtongxia to ask your leaders for explanations and compensation. Chief Lei wonders if the higher-ups will find someone to come.

Can you resist this?"

Section Chief Lei looked at Wang Zhong, his eyes flickering, his face turned from green to white, he took several deep breaths, and asked calmly: "Didn't Comrade Wang Zhong say there are two things? I don't know about the second one.

, what is it again?”

"Last year, my farm had 572 acres of land for winter irrigation. Stationmaster Chen asked me to pay 60,000 yuan, which is more than 100 yuan per acre. We prepared the land and only paid a few dozen yuan per acre at most.

"We, the eighty households in Jintan Village, have a total of 543 acres of land. The money we paid yesterday for irrigation last winter, according to your calculations, is 28,000 yuan."

"I think Section Chief Lei also knows about this matter!"

"Clear! Clear!"

How could we not be clear about such a big matter?

Looking at Wang Zhong's behavior, it was obvious that he had already thought about it and was waiting for a suitable opportunity to bring this matter up.

"Chief Lei is a smart man, I don't think I need to say anything more!"

"Master Li, Wang Jin, Zhang Yuan, you three go over and open the gate to release water to Jintan Village!"

"Section chief, station chief..." The three young men walked up to Lei Heng and said hesitantly and tangledly.

The man named Master Li had his head opened yesterday by Yang San, causing his nose to bleed.

Facing the three people, Lei Heng scolded the water station with a straight face and a frosty face: "Is the stationmaster's order more important, or the wheat in the fields of the common people? We manage the water station for the country and the common people, not for the people.

Who are you, the wheat in the fields of the villagers is almost drying up now, are we just going to watch it?"

"You three, hurry up and get me some water. If the stationmaster comes back and blames you, no matter what happens, I will bear it alone!"

At this moment, Chief Lei Heng seemed to be the reincarnation of Bao Hei. He was upright and devoted to the people, just like the words engraved on his face.

"Chief Lei is really dedicated to the people!"

Wang Zhong said with a smile, but then looked at Yang San next to him: "Brother Yang San, please take someone to follow our staff and go take a look together."

"Okay!" Yang San immediately agreed and called two fellow villagers with whom he usually had a good relationship to follow him.

Wang Zhongchong handed Lei Heng a note and said, "This is my number. If Section Chief Lei needs help, please feel free to call me at any time."

Looking at the note handed over by Wang Zhong, Lei Heng hesitated for a moment, thinking that it was just a phone call and not a bribe, so he reached out and took it.

"Then thank you, Chief Lei!" Wang Zhong smiled and shook hands with Lei Heng.

"It should, it should!"

Lei Heng said with emotion: "Thanks to Comrade Wang Zhong's words for waking me up. Otherwise, I would have forgotten why I came to the water station!"

The villagers who were so angry and indignant just now couldn't believe their eyes when they saw the scene in front of them.

Wang Zhong just said a few words and asked this section chief to release the water?

"Folks, please don't stand here and be blocked. Not only will it affect the daily work of the water station, but it will also delay the watering of your own fields."

"Chief Lei has already sent people to release the water. Everyone, please go back and watch in your own fields! It's time to call people and get busy, but don't let Chief Lei's good intentions go down."

"Yeah!"

"Brother Wang Zhong is right, let's go back quickly!"

The villagers reacted immediately and hurriedly greeted him and ran back!

"Chief Lei, regarding the 60,000 yuan water fee charged to me by the irrigation station last winter, I have to worry about Chief Lei and respond to the leadership above."

"One winter irrigation is 60,000 yuan. After one year, it doesn't cost 120,000 yuan! Although I, Wang Zhong, can afford this money, I am not someone who can be exploited. I responded to the government's call and took the lead in immigrating here.

Diaozhuang, if Section Chief Lei can't solve this problem, then I can only report it to our leaders at Yuquan Camp."

"One irrigation operation costs more than 100 yuan for water per acre. This is the first time I have heard of such a high price in the whole of Ningxia, not to mention our Yuquan camp."

"Comrade Wang Zhong, please rest assured. I will report this matter to my superiors immediately and I will solve this problem for you as soon as possible." Lei Heng almost assured Wang Zhong by patting his chest.

From the moment Lei Heng asked people to open the gate and release the water, he and Wang Zhong were tied together. No, it should be said that he had already made a choice, choosing to stand on the side of Jintan Village, choosing to support

This side of Diaozhuang’s immigration policy.

I chose to stand on the opposite side of that webmaster Chen.
